L hated this. He hated everything about this. He wanted this to just be over. He'd been dragged down too far and was now overwhelmed. Of course, that was L. He always had a complex interior that contributed to his vast array of knowledge and ability to solve any kind of problem. It was in his nature to be overcome with more than one emotion at a time. It was also in his nature to conceal every emotion inside himself and build a barrier. He wasn't bothered by the problems of others and kept to himself. It was easier than being overwhelmed by all the different emotions inside of him. He would never get too involved.

Light was confused… and angry and scared. He couldn't understand what was happening to him. He was feeling grief, hatred, betrayal and a whole mixture of several different emotions. He was an intelligent and well-mannered young man who always had a plan. He didn't like surprises and always had a say in something. He was a master in the art of lying and could manipulate almost anyone to get what he wanted. Almost.

His mind was running around in circles. He was convulsing and twisting around on his bed trying to make sense of everything. The one thought running through his mind; he was trapped. He hadn't thought everything through and now he was trapped. What was he supposed to do? His mind was split in half. He didn't know whether he should just give in to everything and stay with Ryuzaki or kill everyone and continue with his plot to rule the Earth. That was his goal after all.

Light slumped over tugging at his wrists that were, of course secured in handcuffs. Of course L wasn't going to trust him enough to move around freely! Light was in trouble. He didn't understand any of the thoughts that were battling inside his head. He had many questions and memories that kept holing him back from saying anything. He shivered when L walked back into his room.

"I guess Ryuk won't be back anytime soon. He's been gone for quite a while, though." Light was silent as L sat down in the chair beside Light's bed. "Maybe he'll return soon… What do you think, Light?"

"What did you to Sayu?"

"I simply disposed of her body." Obvious answer.

"How is it that you were able to remember everything after you burned the Death Note?"

"I had a Death Note of my own," L rolled his eyes. Light wanted to ask questions. Great.

"Where'd you get a Death Note?"

"Remember when Near switched Mikami's notebook? We had that notebook and then yours."

Light nodded, "I'm sorry for all the sudden questions."

No you're not, L thought. He knew Light always had to know everything. He hated answering questions that Light already knew the answer of. He sighed. At least he's speaking to me…

"Ryuzaki, what am I going to do?"

"What are you talking about? Why would you ask me of all people about your plans?" L wasn't angry or necessarily surprised. He wasn't expecting Light's sudden question, though.

Light rolled his head on his pillow. "We used to talk about a lot of things. Hey Ryuzaki, am I still your first and only friend?" Light's eyes shined with the familiar innocent caramel sparkle L was familiar with as he looked up at L curiously.

"Light, you know that's not possible. I've many friends before I met you."

"Then why did you tell me that?"

"Because you were Kira."

Light shrunk a little at that statement. "It seems a lot of things have been happening because of Kira… Did you tell me anything else… because I was Kira?" Light slightly smirked at this comment.

L scowled, "Are you suggesting that I had something to do with you sleeping with me?"

"L I know you had to have had some part. I mean, it is sex. However, I was just thinking if I might have been influenced by your words in any way."

"I would never do that to an innocent person…"

Light winced and then screamed, "When will you understand we're the same people? I'll never forgive you for this, Ryuzaki!"

"That's very fair; since I've forgiven you about the times you've tried to kill me." That was true. Light had tried to kill L more than three times and he still forgave him.

"You have to twist my words around in some way so you can have the last say in everything."

"Well we all can not be as kind hearted as you."

"And then you're monotone like always. You always throw my word to me with some emotionless comment."

"Oh, so you want to see some emotions come out of me?" L almost stood up, but remained sitting.

"That would be appreciated."

L leaned forward slightly, "You're in no position to be mouthing off."

L was still monotone, but fear flashed through Light's eye as he stared up at his handcuffs. "You wouldn't…"

L sighed, "I would if I was pushed far enough. You need to learn how to accept facts." L reached in his pocket and unlocked Light's wrists. "I'm tired of this really. You usually handle information very well."

"Why'd you unlock my hands?" Light rubbed his wrists in response.

"I made dinner," L said pulling Light off of his bed. "Come on. It's still your birthday. I'm at least going to do something nice." L made Light follow him down stairs.

Light felt awkward. They were just fighting and now they're going to eat dinner? He hated it when people got bipolar like this, but he was grateful. He didn't like being in the handcuffs. "You really didn't have to do this."

"I know," L stated bluntly, "but I did. It's just curry rice, Light." L walked over to the table and sat at the end closest to the wall. Light followed and sat on the opposite side. L had already set the table with the colorful curry rice and some tea. Light was apprehensive knowing the detective's sweet tooth. L raised up his tea, "Itadakimasu."

"Huh?" Light stared up at L. "Oh, itadakimasu," He said taking his tea and drinking it. This all seemed very familiar, but very foreign at the same time. "Ah, thank you," Light said remembering his manners.

You fool! Don't thank him! A loud angry voice shouted in the back of Light's mind.

L took about two bites and then gave the rest to Light. He got full actually very easily but always craved sweets. To Light's surprise the curry was savory and good. Now what was he supposed to do? It was awkward to be in the same room with Ryuzaki considering their… "brief past." He was torn between two different emotions.

He finished his portion very quickly, but didn't take L's. He also ate very little. L stood up and walked to the living room and started channel surfing. He was seriously bored. He started watching CSI, but solved the entire case before head watched five minutes of it. He ended up watching some anime about some high school girls, who looked like they were five, dance around in sailor uniforms.

Light stood up after eating and joined L on the couch. He laid his head on L's shoulder and closed his eyes.

"Light?" L said after a few moments of watching the show feeling utterly bored but suddenly craving cream puffs.

"Mmm…" Light said nodding his head, but not opening his eyes.

"Are you tired?"

"No…" Light muttered sitting up straight and crossing his arms. L shrugged and began channel surfing again. Light's head started bobbing up and down as he fell in and out of consciousness. He finally gave in and started sleeping.

L didn't take notice until Light fell on him. He analyzed the sleeping Male and sighed. He turned off the television and sank down underneath the other male. He played with Light's locks for a moment before getting bored and staring at the ceiling.

Light groaned for a brief second and rubbed his eyes. "Ryuzaki?"

"Yes," L asked coming back to reality.

"We need to go to sleep…"

"You were asleep."

"Really? Were you?" Light yawned laying his head on L's chest. He wasn't concerned with the whole homosexual death penalty relationship they had just formed. He was just tired.

"No."

"You should. It can't be healthy to stay up like that."

"Since when do you care about my health?"

Light smiled before falling back asleep…"R-Ryuzaki?"

"Hmm?" L muttered trying to figure if he was incoherent or not.

"You still remember me right?"

L sat up forcing Light to wake up slightly. "Come on. You should get some sleep," L supported Light on his shoulders. He helped Light up to his room and onto his bed. He left and slept in Light's parent's room. He sat on the bed and soon snuggled under the silk sheets. He could feel the moist droplets forming in his eyes and quickly shut them out. He wasn't going to cry at a time like this.

"Ryuzaki, you always sleep with me at night," L turned over and saw Light standing in the doorway. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned. "Have you gotten tired of me?"

What was going on? A few hours ago Light was telling him to back off. Now he's getting upset for sleeping in a different bed alone? Unless Light's true nature and feelings come out when he's weak and tired like this… No that's completely insane! So why was he acting like this now? "I thought you'd want to sleep by yourself to night.

Light walked and got into the bed and snuggled close to L. "I like this much better… Oh, Ryuzaki, I have something to tell you that might help you." Light leaned over L's ear and whispered, "I'm sorry. Just give it some time. I'm sure he'll come around. Don't push yourself too hard. I don't want you to get hurt during all of this. So please if things don't go smoothly in the next few weeks kill me." L stared at Light with scared eyes. "I know it'll be hard, but if I do anything to cause anyone else pain or misery just kill me."

L shook his head, "I can't promise that…"

Light smiled and softly kissed L. "Then let's hope things work out for the best, ya?"

L woke up the next morning. He was alone and cold. He knew that something needed to be done. He needed to put an end to Kira. He still had time. And he was not going to lose Light. Not yet at least.
